FAQs

1. What is a “whole fruit” olive oil?
In our whole fruit oils, whole citrus fruits are crushed together with olives during the milling process rather than flavoring the oil after pressing. This fusion captures the fruit’s juice, zest and essential oils, producing a vibrant citrus flavor without additives or extracts.

2. Can I cook with orange olive oil, or is it only for finishing?
This oil has the same smoke point as high‑quality extra‑virgin olive oil, so you can use it for sautéing, roasting and baking. It’s especially good in marinades, cakes and roasted vegetables. For maximum flavor, avoid overheating and drizzle some raw oil over dishes just before serving.

3. Does this oil contain added sugar or artificial ingredients?
No. The bright, sweet flavor comes solely from fresh navel oranges and Arbequina olives. There is no added sugar, coloring or preservatives, and each tablespoon contains 120 calories from beneficial fats and no carbohydrates.
